Father Felice Palamara
Police are currently conducting an investigation following an alarming incident during Mass, where a priest, Father Felice Palamara, narrowly avoided consuming bleach instead of wine.
This disturbing event marks the latest occurrence in a series of targeted intimidation tactics against him.
In front of numerous worshippers at the Church of San Nicola di Pannanconi near Vibo Valentia in southern Italy, a chaotic scene unfolded.
Upon immediate notification, the police were summoned to the church, and subsequently, the chalice was confiscated for thorough examination.
Subsequent analysis revealed that the wine contained a lethal amount of bleach.
The targeted priest, known for his outspoken stance against organized crime in the region, is suspected to have been targeted by a mafia hitman who tainted the communion wine.
In a statement to local media, he expressed gratitude for his safety, emphasizing his positive relationship with the local community.
Addressing his congregation, he affirmed his commitment to love, forgiveness, and empathy, urging for clarity and justice in light of these criminal acts.
A police insider informed the Daily Mail that while the origin of the bleach remains uncertain, the investigation is being treated with utmost seriousness.
The authorities stated:
“We cannot definitively ascertain if it’s the work of organized crime, individuals harboring grudges against the church, Satanists, or mere troublemakers, but we’re treating the matter with utmost seriousness.
The potential consequences of the bleach incident could have been severe, posing a significant threat to Father Palamara’s well-being had he consumed it. While the prevailing theory points towards organized crime and local mafia involvement, we are maintaining an open-minded approach and not ruling out any possibilities until concrete evidence is obtained.”
Amidst an ongoing investigation, the priest has been provided with round-the-clock security for his safety.
